Despite this committed avoidance of a heavier thematic lift, Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants To Live Forever still works quite fine as a slice of diverting entertainment.

Ben Kenigsberg

New York Times

Faced with the problem of humanizing a man who aspires to cheat a fundamental aspect of human existence, Smith settles for a banal father-son arc.

Bob Strauss

San Francisco Chronicle

Equal parts inspirational science lesson, probing personal portrait, infomercial, and lifestyle of the rich and messianic, the movie portrays Johnson as a relatable, probably decent and maybe even heroic guy.

Rated: 3/4

Stephen Silver

The SS Ben Hecht

A compelling portrait of this guy, which never gets judgmental, but also provides a fair look at him.

Jonathon Wilson

Ready Steady Cut

What Johnson is promoting is sacrificing your life on the altar of his health, buying overpriced supplements to line his pockets, and buying into an ideology that is self-serving, detrimental, and entirely misses the point of not dying -- to be alive.

Rated: 1/5

Ava S hmmmmmmmmmmall I’ll say is that I personally think they spent a little too much time talking about his sonhmmmmmmmmmm Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Georgan G A rich man who has dealt with his depression by focusing on his physical health. Working out, eating right & sleeping enough should be everyone's focus. This person goes way, way further, using supplements that may harm him.
